Mako Thompson is a New Zealand pro who primarily plays on the PGA Tour of Australasia and his domestic Jennian Homes Charles Tour. Before officially joining the paid ranks and securing his tour card through the Qualifying School in early 2025, Thompson enjoyed a highly successful amateur career in his home country. His defining breakthrough arrived in 2022 when he remarkably defeated a field of seasoned pros to capture the Christies Floorings Mount Open on the Charles Tour while still an amateur.
Transitioning seamlessly to the premier regional circuit for the 2025/26 season, Thompson made an immediate impact during his rookie campaign. He captured massive attention by holding the halfway lead at the WA Open before ultimately securing a top-20 finish. Demonstrating his ability to consistently contend, he recorded standout performances across the Australian summer, highlighted by a spectacular tied-5th finish at the Webex Players Series Victoria. Relying on steady ball-striking and an unwavering composure, Thompson quickly established himself inside the top 40 on the official Order of Merit as he relentlessly hunts for his maiden tier-one victory.
